Cosmos, Sunflower or Black Eyed Susan?

I don't think the shape of the a muse studio cosmos paper flowers look as much like cosmos as they do either beach sunflowers or black eyed Susan's both of which are two of my favorite flowers.  Either way our paper flowers are super fun to customize because they all come in pure white and you can make them any color you want just by using Copic markers to color them with.  So how about purple buttercups or blue daisy's anyone?...Okay maybe today just yellow beach sunflowers. :o)
Oh yeah, I can't forget to mention the new a muse studio snap cards which are great to use as patterned paper too!

Sealed with a Fish...

...or maybe I should say Sealed with a Turtle?  I made these cards for two dear friends who's summer birthdays are a day apart.  I couldn't decide which background color I liked better, which one do you like best Bermuda or Toffee?...

Sunflower Stalk

Sunflowers are my favorite flower and the new a muse studio sunflower stamp set and matching dies were at the top of my want list.  I used the 0.1mm Copic multiliner pen and hand drew straight lines for the stalk and colored everything with Copic markers. I die cut and colored two flowers but then cut individual petals out from just one of them and popped the petals (and the bottom leaves) up with 3-d foam which gives this card a lot of dimension.  The "hello" is from the new set Essential Sentiments Too which is a killer collection of sentiments for nearly every occasion, I can't tell you how many ties I've used this set already.  
Hope your days is filled with sunflowers! :o)

Shine Bright Sapphire

Here's another way to create gems from the new a muse studio Shine Bright stamp set. I just stamped the diamond with Memento black ink and colored it with Copic markers.  Then I used our glue pen just on the lines and sprinkled with diamond glitter.  Add a big Blueberry circle and sentiment and this card is done.

ROY G BIV a.k.a. Rainbow Colors

This effect was done using Copic markers and simply transitioning the colors using the "ROY G BIV" color sequence.  "ROY G BIV" is an acronym used for a specific sequence of hues commonly described as Rainbow colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo. Color lesson for the day - lol.

You Rock my World!

I combined the "Greetings Earthling" spaceship with the "Rock Star" sentiment for this fun ROCKET card. For the moon I sponged on Seattle & Slate ink and used a stylus to make craters.  And for the stars I sprayed the black card stock with Stardust Finishing Spray, it's much more glimmery (yep...new word) in real life.
